““We’re working on one right now,” said the rapper turned actor and writer. “We’re gonna call it Last Friday.”

Ice Cube didn’t have any other details to offer, but one would assume that he will be starring in the film and writing the screenplay, as he has done with the previous three instalments.

We’ll also presumably see the return of several franchise veterans such as John Witherspoon (Willie Jones) and Mike Epps (Day-Day), although it remains to be seen whether Chris Tucker could be tempted back to the series for the first time since the original.

HBO has renewed “Animals” for Season 3 ahead of its Season 2 finale, the premium cable channel announced Friday.

The series was created by executive producers Phil Matarese and Mike Luciano, with Duplass Brothers Productions producing. The animated comedy series focuses on the downtrodden creatures native New York City, including rats, pigeons, and bedbugs. Matarese and Luciano also write and direct all the episodes, and voice many of the characters.

Happy Friday, party people! It's a shame that this news didn't drop yesterday on 4/20, but what are you going to do? Coming at you live from the Power 95.3 Get Up Crew, Friday actor John Witherspoon cruised by the studio and dropped one hell of an info bomb when he stated that, "I was at the airport, I saw Ice Cube, and Cube said they were going to do another...

Huge News from Ice Cube Friday morning ... courtesy of his co-star and movie dad, John Witherspoon -- there's a new 'Friday' movie coming! John was on the radio in Orlando when he dropped the bombshell news, saying he'd just spoken to Cube, who told him the project got the greenlight from studio honchos. It's been 15 years since "Friday After Next" ... and a lot's changed since then. Cube's a bonafide power player in Hollywood now --

James Noble, best known for his role as Governor Eugene Gatling on “Benson,” died on Monday in Connecticut, The New York Times reports. He was 94.

The actor died at Norwalk Hospital after suffering a stroke.

Noble — born in Dallas, Texas, on March 5, 1922 — began his stage career in the 1949 Broadway production of “The Velvet Glove.” The actor went on to play John Hancock in the musical “1776” and portrayed Reverend John Witherspoon in its 1972 movie adaptation.

Noble played absent-minded Gov. Gatling for seven seasons on the hit 1980s ABC sitcom “Benson,” which focused on his character’s relationship with Robert Guillaume’s Benson DuBois.

"Keeping Up With the Johnsons" is a terrific episode, and not just because it's funny. The humor is definitely there, but it's surpassed by the realest, most honest writing we've seen so far in Black-ish's sophomore season. The episode begins with a history of black consumerism: After 400 years of unpaid labor, Dre explains, the first thing black people want to do is spend their paychecks. As we see stereotypical images of black men and boys with expensive clothes, jewelry, and cars, Dre admits, "Everyone wants to have [money], but no one wants to talk about it." This money problem certainly affects the Johnson household. Bow begins to wonder if they're being too careless with their spending, and encourages Dre to take a more proactive role in their financial management. She insists that he stop listening to the horrible advice of their accountant, James Brown (John Witherspoon). They have a

Even though grossly maligned when released in October 1995, Vampire in Brooklyn has become something of an unfortunate punch line in the careers of both its director and star. Although it’s been misunderstood and wrongly forced to take a time out in the horror genre’s “Shame Corner” over the last two decades, I still adore the hell out of Vampire in Brooklyn.

Friday, the hit 1995 comedy starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker, is celebrating its 20th Anniversary this week. Part of the festivities include a return to theaters for the film. That's right, on 4/20, known as a National Stoner's Holiday, Friday will be back on the big screen. Ice Cube caught up with The Wrap to talk about the event, and revealed that everyone who has every been involved with the franchise, including cast members from the original as well as 2000's Next Friday and the 2002 Christmas themed The Friday After Next, want to return. And he hopes the theatrical revival of the original proves to New Line that a sequel should move forward. He explains:

"That's my dream. I think all the parties involved, all the people that's been in the franchise, people from the first one to the third one, want to do another one. We might have to call

Much has been said since Robin Williams' death on Monday of his contribution to movies. Certainly, his performances in such films as "Aladdin," "Mrs. Doubtfire," and "Good Will Hunting" are likely to endear him to new fans among moviegoers for generations to come. But it's easy to forget that he also made indelible contributions to the world of TV throughout his four-decade career. Older viewers remember his starmaking turn as a lovable alien on "Mork and Mindy," but that was only one instance of many where he changed the medium in ways large and small that will continue to be felt for a long time to come. Here are some of those ways.

The Boondocks is, personally speaking, one of my favorite animated series, and I was proud to be one of the first to get the scoop that The Boondocks season 4 was happening - but that was about three years ago. It’s been a long wait- full of some twists and turns – but season 4 is officially coming to Adult Swim at the end of April; however, series creator Aaron McGruder won’t be a part of it.

As the Boondocks season 4 official trailer indicates, brothers Huey and Riley Freeman (voice of Regina King) and their Granddad (John Witherspoon) are coming to the end of their time in the suburban enclaves of Woodcrest. With Granddad facing foreclosure on the house (and apparently a lot worse than that), the boys and their comrades – like Tom Dubois (Cedric Yarbrough) and maybe even Uncle ...

Enjoying the sun and warmth of Beverly Hills, Reese Witherspoon exited an office building in style on Thursday (March 20).

All smiles in a cute fedora, the 37-year-old babe sported a denim jacket over a sexy blue and gray dress, completing her look with a pair of suede designer heels.

In related news, the "This is War" beauty recently went to lunch with her mother, Betty, who filed a lawsuit against her ex-husband in May, 2012.

Reese's father, John Witherspoon sought to have his new marriage annulled, and the lawsuit accused him of bigamy, and Betty claimed that John could not be married to Tricianne Taylor, as he was still married to her at the same time.

Adult Swim has placed a series order for a sure-to-be-controversial new half-hour scripted comedy from Aaron McGruder (The Boondocks) entitled Black Jesus, which according to Deadline will see "Jesus living in present-day Compton, CA on a daily mission to spread love and kindness throughout the neighborhood with the help of his small but loyal group of downtrodden followers."

Gerald 'Slink' Johnson stars as Jesus who is living in present-day Compton, CA. He sets out on a daily mission to spread love and kindness throughout the neighborhood with the help of his small but loyal group of downtrodden followers.
